Name: My Heart’s Tonight in Ireland by Corncrake
Duration: 54 s
Description: A trial version of My Heart’s Tonight in Ireland by Andy Irvine on Fylde Bouzouki for the guys at the Mandolin Cafe; played at the 5th fret, tuning GDAE, in the key of G. It’s recorded straight into the PC mic so very clicky and tinny. The purpose is to help some of the members try to play it… at least that’s the theory.

My Heart’s Tonight in Ireland

The first melody is from the Petrie Collection and the second jig based upon John J. Kimmel's setting from his recording of the tune made in 1918.

I'm playing mandolin, 10-string bouzouki, 12-string guitar and bodhrán on this recording. 

Recorded on a Zoom H4N.

Air Mignonne

The Black Sea

Colin from Scarva, Northern Ireland. I’ve been playing folk since 1972 and have stuck with it ever since, playing a variety of instruments such as Avalon guitar, Fylde bouzoukis, Sobell octave mandola, whistles, bodhran and most recently clarinet and hurdy-gurdy. I record under the name Corncrake but also used to play with the folk group Voice of the Bann. I supported stalwarts such as Andy Irvine, John Martyn, Clannad and Moving Hearts as a support act many years ago and am still a great fan of Andy and his local folk songs - I play them regularly at sessions or local concerts. I promote the local Ulster-Scots tradition; the music of my region of Northern Ireland - bagpipes and Lambeg drums are in my blood along with the reels and jigs of my traditional music; however I play all kinds of folk from Scots to Irish, Breton, Greek, East European and beyond.
